Patent CA-2560367-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAISMAN ALON
IPC: A61G10/00
Filed: 2006-09-06
Abstract: People confined to hospital beds for extended periods of time have limited possibilities for routine activities such as exercising, using a computer, writing, and reading.     In several stages of their recovery period, many people are able and even need to exercise both their body and their minds, but have no tools or assistance from others for such activities.     In most hospitals, there are two beds per room, so there is no privacy for each patient. As well, the activities of one person might disturb the other lying in the same room. Even in a one bed room, a patient has no means to exercise the muscles that are not affected by their ailment. They have no facilities to easily access computer, to write, to draw, etc.     Therefore, the physical and mental states of the patient are deeply affected by inactivity. This, in turn, leads to a slower recovery of physical and mental capabilities during and after hospitalization.     This invention enables a patient to have:   - A high degree of privacy, even if there are more beds in the same room.     - A variety of possibilities for intense physical and mental activity.   - A nice and comfortable ambiance where the air conditioning can be adjusted, as desired.     All these factors will shorten the recovery period and make reintegration into normal life easier. This invention therefore saves money for hospitals and society at large.     The invention consists of a three dimensional frame forming an enclosure similar to a small room inside a regular room, offering possibilities for exercise, utilization of a computer, writing, drawing, watching TV, and using other means of education/entertainment.  Advantages 1. This enclosure may be sound-proof.   2. In a one bed room, the invention allows for an additional bed to possibly be added without discomfort to either patient.   3. The structure can be easily assembled and dismantled.   4. Rooms of this kind can be erected in emergencies, in the big halls of hospitals, or even on the premises of a yard.  5. In emergency situations, similar units may be erected to serve as operation rooms or to serve as cordoned off units, in the case of contagious diseases, such as SARS.

Title: Method for operating a converter circuit, and apparatus for carrying out the method
Inventor: SERPA LEONARDO
IPC: H02M1/12
Filed: 2005-05-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating a converter circuit comprising a converter unit (1) with a plurality of triggerable power semiconductor switches and an LCL filter (3) that is connected to each phase terminal (2) of the converter unit (1). According to said method, the triggerable power semiconductor switches are triggered by means of a triggering signal (S) formed from a hysteretic actual power value (dP), a hysteretic reactive power value (dQ), and a selected flux sector (.theta.n). The hysteretic actual power value (dP) is formed from a differential actual power value (Pdiff) by means of a first hysteresis controller (16) while the differential actual power value (Pdiff) is formed by subtracting an estimated actual power value (P) and a damping actual power value (Pd) from an actual power reference value (Pref). The damping actual power value (Pd) is formed from a sum of a multiplication of an .alpha. component of the space vector transformation of filter capacity currents (iCf.alpha.) of the LCL filter (3) with an a component of the space vector transformation of phase terminal currents (ifi.alpha.) and a multiplication of a ~ component of the space vector transformation of filter capacity currents (iCf~) of the LCL filters (3) with a ~ component of the space vector transformation of phase terminal currents (ifi~), said sum being weighted with an adjustable damping factor (kd). The hysteretic reactive power value (dQ) is formed from a differential reactive power value (Qdiff) by means of a second hysteresis controller (17) while the differential reactive power value (Qdiff) is formed by subtracting an estimated reactive power value (Q) and a damping reactive power value (Qd) from a reactive power reference value (Qref). The damping reactive power value (Qd) is formed from a difference between a multiplication of the ~ component of the space vector transformation of filter capacity currents (iCf~) of the LCL filters (3) with the a component of the space vector transformation of phase terminal currents (ifi.alpha.) and a multiplication of the .alpha. component of the space vector transformation of filter capacity currents (iCf.alpha.) of the LCL filters (3) with the ~  component of the space vector transformation of phase terminal currents (ifi~), said difference being weighted with an adjustable damping factor.(kd).  Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the inventive method.
